Alice Cooper to give 4D performance

Alice Cooper is to make history next month with the UK's first holographic 4D rock gig at Battersea Power Station in London.

At the Jägermeister Ice Cold Event on May 11, veteran rocker Cooper will appear in front of the audience using a state-of-the-art holographic system, V-Depth.

Hosted by Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe, the event will feature Cooper 'performing' with all members of his original band - Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith and Michael Bruce - for the first time in the UK since 1972.

The event will also have DJ sets from Lowe and XFM pair Eddy Temple Morris and Ian Camfield, along with a live performance from The King Blues.

"We couldn't resist this," said Cooper. "Working with Jägermeister to appear as holograms on the other side of the Atlantic is the ultimate experience - a cutting-edge conjuring trick that celebrates the future and our history. We can't wait to see the results."

Cooper is no stranger to trailblazing with new technology: he was the subject of a world-first 3D hologram piece of art in March 1973, created by the surrealist artist Salvador Dali.
